This document outlines the findings from a Skills for Care funded pilot project that aimed to address workforce development requirements for the transformation of adult social care in line with Putting People First.

 

City of Bristol College and the West of England Centre for Inclusive Living worked in partnership to redesign, trial and evaluate an existing training programme for Personal Assistants and Social Workers.Central to the pilot was involvement of those who use services and learners; from training design and delivery through to evaluation.

The document provides advice on how learning style, design and delivery can be adapted to teach social care staff effectively to deliver person centred care and support.

The document also provides learning providers with a series of recommendations, enabling them to develop the social care workforce so they can be ready for personalisation and involving people who use services.
